out of the comfort zone

tomorrow is quite the day.

i lead my teen group in an all day photo-tastic creative retreat then the moment they leave me, i hit the road running (well in a silver mini van named velma with barbie heads attached to the antenna) with my 6 out of my 7 band mates.

croaker is embarking on our first tour and our first stop is for the NEBRASKA POP FESTIVAL in omaha. looks like there's no turning back.

note: if you head to the NPF page you can download a free mix of the performers (woo!) - plus any money you want to throw their way goes to a great organization called ARTS FOR ALL.

should be some precious moments and photos to share upon my return.

art opening // greetings (in paris!)

i'm over at the creative site booooooom quite a bit, it's never ending source of inspirational awesomeness. it was there i found this collaboration between artists kyle field, nathaniel russell, and alia shawkat (yup, maeby).

they spent time in paris working and preparing for the opening of their show, greetings, which happened on thursday complete with music performed by the artists.

i encourage you to spend some time digging around their sites and their tumblr, where photographer and curator danielle rubi documented the process leading up to the show. these are her beautiful photographs:

looks like we have until june 25th to get over to paris to soak it in first hand...

a love letter to coney island
